Hey guys... My GF and I were eating over at Avalon Diner on 59 (by Compaq Center). Anyway...JVG was sitting across from us with his wife and little girl. He was looking very laid back, he had on a grey Rockets Basketball long sleeve T shirt with a pair of khaki shorts and running shoes. Here is what he ate...chicken fried steak (gravy all over it, it could kill you on the spot), he also had a shake with his meal for his drink. I didnt notice what his wife and daughter had. I didnt speak to him as it is Sunday and I didnt want to interrupt his meal with his family. He made a call during his dinner and I heard him say happy anniversary to someone and his little girl got on the phone to tell whoever it was she loved them. Then they paid and went and got into their BMW X5 SUV and drove off. I tried to be observant without staring...it is always interesting to see how people like that interact while they are out. In this case...JVG looks like everyones next door neighbor. Anyway...just a little bit on my JVG sighting. He seemed very laid back and easy going...off the court at least.
that's cool. at least he's got spirit with his rockets shirt. do his eyes have big sacs under them? and did anyone else know who he was?
BMW SUV.... at least he's not driving around his 83 Honda Civic anymore.... oh wait, that got totaled by the Knicks jet on the tarmac. (it was actually blown afar by the plane's exhaust.)
Im sure they had today off since it is Sunday...when I played college football we always had Sundays off during two a days. The cashier guys said hes been in twice now.
Galveston is like less than 1 hour from Houston man. Texas Geography foo. And today's an offday. So he prolly didn't go to Galveston today.
The Rockets headed back sometime today. They are outta galveston for good until when they go back to practice right before the playoffs. thanks for sharing. that was cool of you to not approach Van Gundy or stare at him too much.
PHOTOS??!?!?!?? (just kidding) That's cool, thanks for the scoop. And I respect that you observed him casually without being intrusive. Classy.
No photos = didnt happen. Didnt rH and myself teach you anything?? Its called Rocket stalking..... Im kidding of course....
pathetic...absolutely pathetic, a real fan would have discreetly stolen some of their food for dna and saliva samples.
is he afraid that nobody will recognize him ... here's another clue ... just kidding. thanks for sharing.
That's funny. During the summer, the coaching staff meets with all the players: "Look, Moochie, you fat f**k, you gotta ask yourself how badly you want this. Look at yourself, you're a Weeble-Wobble, you're a g**damned Oompa-Loompa. Now get with the program and come to camp in shape. If you show up fat, well, at least with that fat a$$ you won't feel the splinters you'll get from sitting on the bench." Later, JVG at Landry's: "Uh, waiter, are you a Mavericks fan or something? I distinctly ordered the fried catfish. Someone told me to try the catfish and then I would know if I'm becoming Southern and so I ordered it but grilled? I'm sorry, could you take it back?"
